What Does This Endoscopy Report Indicate?

I just had a Upper GI Endoscopy. The findings are: Tortuous Esophagus. Z-line irregular, 35 cm from the incisors. Biopsied. Erythematous mucosa in the antrum. Biopsied. What do all this mean. Have been on Nexium and Carapace, so why am I going through pain in my back.
